I can confirm this. Im running many servers with all kind of hosters since the 90s and the only one that had a Harddisk go haywire was the one Server I had with Hetzner.
- ch0wn 13y agoWe also had very bad luck with hard drives at Hetzner. Even the replacement disks we got after one gave up had 25000+ hours of spinning time according to SMART.
- X-Istence 13y agoI've had hard drives go bad in a huge variety of different servers in many different locations. The Planet (now Softlayer), Digital Ocean (VPS ...), NAC.net, Atjeu, and others. These days I just expect it to go bad, so I use ZFS within FreeBSD to watch for errors, and when they happen I ask them to replace a single drive, and then the other. So far it has worked very well for me with no data loss. I've been fairly lucky in that both drives have't failed at the same time.
